Let L. Allen Beatty, Appraisals help you lower your mortgage payment

When the amount being loaned to the homebuyer is more than 80% of the actual value of the home, almost all lenders ask homeowners to purchase an supplemental insurance plan. That policy is Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI. This additional payment is often folded into the monthly mortgage payment and is promptly forgotten. PMI is unnecessary when the leftover balance of the loan - whether through market appreciation or principal pay down - falls below the 80% level, making this very unfavorable.
